Missing aircraft found safe

Emergency services were alerted by air traffic control that the plane had
dissapeared off the radar just before midday.

Bridgewater police inspected the site and confirmed the plane had landed safely
near the Bridgewater-Maldon road, off the Calder Highway.

An air traffic control spokesman said the pilot had reported trouble with the
alternator.

The spokesman said the pilot was on a Visual Flight Rule and did not have their
flight path listed with air traffic control.

Sergeant Don Frazer, of Maryborough police, said police were still on scene.
"It may have just been a glitch on the radar that's reported it
missing," he said.
"We're still confirming that at this stage. Everyone in the plane is
safe."
